“Oracle Corp. today announced a world record TPC-H three
terabyte (TB) benchmark result for Oracle Database 10g and Oracle
Real Application Clusters demonstrating Oracle’s ability to cost
effectively manage large scale data warehouses on low-cost
clustered Linux servers.“Running on an eight-node cluster of industry-standard HP
ProLiant DL740 servers, each with four Intel Xeon 3.0GHz processors
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 3, Oracle Database 10g and Oracle
Real Application Clusters achieved 22,387.9 QphH@3000GB at an
unmatched price performance of $93/QphH@3000GB. This record Linux
server result demonstrates the power of Oracle Database 10g and
Oracle Real Application Clusters to deliver high performance,
complex query processing on small, low-cost clustered servers.
Oracle now holds world records for TPC-H benchmarks at one and
three TB scale factors on Linux…”
